Wed J17, '24. WooHoo. More snow. Not quite enough of it but we're glad for 4" of new fluffy stuff. 2 groomers on both of our snowmobiles went out early to pack this new snow early on this cold morning. 15 degrees here in Tookie. Packing only this AM to compress the snow. I'll go out later this PM after the sun has worked its magic for a few hours and try to groom it. That may or may not be successful - we'll see. Expect thin snow coverage and some icy spots. We did not pack the front of the big hill - just too thin to support skiing there. But there's an alternative route. No activity in back 40 - that needs more snow. Enjoy the wintry sunshine.

Cold temps have returned and we've got snow in the forecast tomorrow. Will it be enough to bring back nordic skiing to the Fairgrounds? We'll see what Mother Nature brings us...but it can't hurt to do your snow dance. I remember grooming snow on this day about 7 years ago up at Gould Hill Orchard. We had a ton of new snow and the temps were frigid with a cold wind howling. It was so cold we took 45 minute shifts on the Skandic. Good times for the nordic grooming squad!!

Of course these warm temps, rain, and mushy snow mean no skiing until conditions change. Please no skiing until things freeze up again and we get more snow. Thanks. The grooming squad requests that you do your best snow dance at least once a day until further notice.
